When was the last time you remember being truly playful? And, when you hear the word, "playful," what comes up for you? In a world where we're taught to "work hard," we can be left with the notion that there's no room for play. Today's guest, TJ Matton, would love to change that! In this episode, TJ Matton explores the concept of play, its significance in adult life, and how it can be integrated into daily routines. You'll hear TJ talk about the cultural disconnect from play, especially in women and children, and the importance of rediscovering play as a means of enhancing mental health and well-being. The conversation also touches on the role of play in parenting, the relationship between play and mindfulness, and the various styles of play. TJ believes that play is not just an activity but a vital experience that can transform lives.Ready for more playfulness in your life? Now's the time to tune in! Follow TJ MattonInstagram: @theplayfulrevolutionWebsite: https://theplayfulrevolution.comHow to Engage Play in Your Healing, A Free Guided Practice: https://www.theplayfulrevolution.com/engage-play-in-healingFollow Melissa & The Dreaming & Doing PodcastInstagram: https://bit.ly/3O1z5TiFacebook: https://bit.ly/3tRxecZLinkedIn: https://bit.ly/3U2r4BnDon’t miss an episode by subscribing hereWant to go deeper with more resources from Melissa? Counseling Services for Marylanders: https://bit.ly/3O3HANIDisclaimer
